【摘要】:未成年人对达成合同可以不负法律责任;精神病患者和醉汉,在发病期间和神志不清时达成的合同,也可免去合同的法律责任。如果当事人一方用诈骗、威胁或暴力等行为使另一方被迫达成合同,或当事人的认识与客观存在的事实不一致,订约的意思表示有错误,则合同在法律上是无效的。合同内容不得违反有关国家法律、法规禁止性规定。该信用证凭即期汇票及本合同第条规定的单据在开证行付款。

合同生效的条件及相关规定

虽然一方发盘被对方有效接受合同关系即告成立,但交易双方在此基础上签订表示双方意思完全一致的书面合同或成交确认书只是合同生效的最基本的条件,其他应具备的法律条件还有:

(一)当事人双方应具有法律行为的资格和能力

各国法律一般都规定,订立合同的当事人应当有订约能力。我国《合同法》规定:“当事人订立合同,应当具有相应的民事权利能力和民事行为能力。”当事人若是自然人,必须是公民。未成年人对达成合同可以不负法律责任;精神病患者和醉汉,在发病期间和神志不清时达成的合同,也可免去合同的法律责任。当事人若是法人,则行为人应是企业的全权代表。

(二)应是当事人双方在自愿基础上的意思一致

签订国际货物买卖合同是买卖双方的法律行为,不是单方面的行为,所以,只有双方当事人的意思表示一致,合同才能成立。如果当事人一方用诈骗、威胁或暴力等行为使另一方被迫达成合同,或当事人的认识与客观存在的事实不一致,订约的意思表示有错误,则合同在法律上是无效的。

(三)合同订立的形式与内容必须合法

首先,合同订立的形式必须合法。各国法律关于合同订立的形式存在差异,《公约》第11条规定:“销售合同无须以书面订立或书面证明,在形式方面也不受任何其他条件的限制。销售合同可以用包括人证在内的任何方法证明。”但我国政府对此规定提出了保留,即我国不同意国际货物买卖合同采用书面以外的形式订立、更改或终止。因此,我国对外订立买卖合同应当采用书面形式。

第二,合同的标的和内容必须合法。合同内容不得违反有关国家法律、法规禁止性规定。货物应是政府允许出口或进口的商品,货款和外汇的收付必须符合国家的有关规定。

(四)必须互为有偿

国际货物买卖合同是双务合同,是互为有偿的,买卖双方都拥有权利,又都承担义务,即权利义务的确定应当遵循公平原则,不允许或限制合同条款只对一方有利或“显失公平”。
